Best Of

Nobody attacked, that I saw, Aeryx for what he did. If anything it is commendable. What WAS said is that people shouldn't have to save up for over a rl year for a single promotion and still be able be outbid by someone with a credit card. What was said is that auctions are not a game wide event. That in the end, they benefit only a few whales. What was said is it would be nice if the promotion was made into something that everyone could enjoy. If you have a problem with that concept, you are likely one of the handful of players that can participate in this promotion and do not want the competition. 

"Just do what Aeryx did." 90% of my time is on mobile. Not conceivable. 
"People should not be punished for being successful." No. They shouldn't. But neither should other players be punished because they do not have the same amount of disposable income. I could easily drop a couple thousand every few months. But I also have two autistic children and doing that would mean not seeing to their needs. 

Nobody is saying do away with auctions. What would be liked is an auction like promotion that people who can't drop a starting bid of 2000 credits can participate in. 

Those are all personal problems surrounding personal choices. If people want to throw thousands of dollars of their disposable income away on a game because they don't have children to take care of, they should. They shouldn't feel bad because "Oh this person has kids to take care of therefore I shouldn't buy the thing in the game that I want." That's just purely insane.

If you cannot do with Aeryx did, then you should by definition be beat out by the work he put in to generate that amount of money. Whether your personal life can or cannot accomodate that is your own fault. Players are also not "punished" for being outbid on auctions. You simply don't get what you wanted. It's not like you bid credits and lose them still when you get outbid.

Also the whole idea surrounding "If you don't like it you must be benefitting from it." is BS. I couldn't afford credits for years, and never once did I start crying about what I couldn't buy when auctions rolled around. You get outbid if someone spends more money than you, period. If you don't like it, grind harder than they did be it IRL or in game.

Also, if I roll a newbie and buy a bunch of credits on them, and drop a starting bid of 2k credits on some imaginary "non whale" auction, then what?

Are you thick man? I will say this as plainly as I can. Children are a choice. Autism is not. Autism causes things to be exponentially more expensive. Texture issues so they only eat certain foods. Therapies so they will not fall behind their classmates. Doctor visits. Jesus Christ your awareness of the world is just non existant, isn't it? But that is besides the point. Again, nobody is saying doing away with auctions. I will say it again because you seem to read what you want and ignore the rest.Nobody is saying do away with auctions. Nobody is saying do away with auctions. Nobody is saying do away with auctions. Nobody is saying do away with auctions. Did you get it that time? We are asking for an auction like event for fun artifacts that we can participate in and have a chance of winning, even if it is slim, because slim is better than none. 

I never asked for a 'newbie only' auction. The examples Konnorn and I gave were raffles or a lottery like promotion. 

Edit: You seem to have misunderstood a lot of what was said, so let me try again. 

No, you are not punished for losing an auction. However, when in the first 10 minutes of the auction we are at 2000 credit bids, 300 IC, the punishment is you do not even get to participate. It is a promotion that is pretty much exclusive to whales  

And I did say likely. I understand some players will defend it regardless. 

Those sorts of promotions already exist, and happen. Yet you're continually complaining about an auction being unfair.

In a raffle sort of auction, you actually spend money and have a high chance to get nothing in return. As was previously stated, this starts diving into lootbox territory which nobody likes.

Now, as for you and @Oba trying to twist my words about the consequences of having children or whatever life choices you have made as an individual surrounding you not being able to compete with other players into an attack on autistic people, you both can get bent.

I responded with a laughing emoji because what you said was some clown shit.
